Background
On June 1, 2018, Phil Wickham released "Great Things" as the third single from Living Hope, an album which was slated for release in August 2018, along with its accompanying lyric video.[1][5] Wickham shared the story behind the song,[6] saying:
The song "Great Things" was born out of necessity; I had been leading worship regularly at a church called Harvest Christian Fellowship for about 2 years and I found that we really needed more upbeat worship songs that were easy to catch on but still had something special and rich in them to start our services. I sat down over the next couple of weeks and started pouring over scripture and came upon this idea of people in the bible worshiping God as a God who does great things and I thought what a great title for a song full of praise and celebration. With that anchor, I homed in on how He has rescued us from death and conquered the grave. He breaks through the chains that we have to this world and all that comes with that and turns it into a life of freedom.
"Great Things" is a corporate worship song,[5] composed in the key of B Major with a tempo of 124 beats per minute.[7] Wickham's vocal range spans from B4 to F♯5.[8]
